    It is a performance enhancer. Athletes have abused the drug. I'm glad it was banned.

    No, it gives you nonstop energy. So when a regular boxer gets tired and has to rest, the other guy is still going like the Energizer Bunny.

    Then you can accept that your view was not in line with the facts.

    So when Povetkin won gold at the Olympics he was using peds?

    You do know the Olympic style and i mean the strict Olympic style is the best drug testing there is?

    VADA and usada is nothing when you compare it to the drugs testing that is on at the Olympics

    Povetkin is a good fighter that's how. He wore Takam down and dropped him in the previous round before the final blow was struck.
    Meldonium does not give power and during the Takam fight it was still legal and available to both fighters for use.

    Not every PED is meant to give you power. They give you endurance too.

    Meldonium wasn't on the banned substance list. And VADA and USADA are about as good as it gets when it comes to testing. Unfortunately people associate Pac with VADA, Floyd with USADA. All I know is Povetkin knew that Meldonium was banned and he still tried to use it.
